    Greetings from Argyll, Scotland

    Greetings,

    Just purchased a hammock and tarp to try out an alternative way of sleeping out. Have used tents, bivi bags and tarp tents before, so a hammocks another option.

    Do a bit of sea/loch kayaking, mountain biking and walking so I'd imagine I'd be able to set up camp just about anywhere on my travel ( no shortage of trees where I stay ).

    Looking forward to my first night out.

    Cheers,

    Fraser.

    Hey and welcome to the forums! I've not been to Dunoon since I was at Benmore centre in high school. Incredible scenery and forests there though, and yeah, loads of places to hang.

    Welcome from Wisconsin Fraser!

    Like many, Scotland is on my bucket list. I can only imagine how beautiful kayaking the coast and lochs must be. Have you read the book "On Celtic Tides: One Man's Journey Around Ireland by Sea Kayak" by Chris Duff? Great read and gets the mind planning similar adventures.

    Keep up posted on how your first hang goes (provide pictures or it didn't happen!).

    Slàinte,

    Brian
